Can you sleep with your makeup on? Here's everything you need to know about this new makeup trend. Wake up and look amazing and fresh.
The idea of going to sleep while still wearing makeup, makes me want to apply an Active charcoal mask and scrub my face for hours. Even though I see more and more "#wokeuplikethis" selfies supporting the sleep-in-your-makeup trend, I still don't believe it.
True, many Instagram models and Hollywood female stars go to sleep with their makeup on, but that's not the case for everyone. As an example, consider Charlotte Tilbury, a famous makeup artist. Even her husband has never seen her without her makeup on. Even at night, she washes her face and reapplies her makeup with care. She says this with a proud glint in her eye, but I get the impression that she's not quite being serious.
If this describes you or sounds like something you might be into, there is a new type of makeup designed specifically for use while you snooze. All of these items are useful for skincare, and many of them even help your skin repair itself while you sleep. I almost gave in and tried one myself. After all, you can never tell who might be lurking around with a phone, just waiting to upload a photo of your sleeping face to the internet.
The Coverage That Won't Clog Pores Overnight
The new BB Night Beauty Balm from Dr. Jart is perfect for anyone who has ever gotten up for an early morning touch-up before going back to bed. You can relax and enjoy yourself without worrying about your skin because this light gel-like formula provides coverage that is both light and airy while also hydrating, firming, and brightening the skin.
The Concealer That Simultaneously Fights Wrinkles
You can go to a midnight showing of the new blockbuster with the full intention of falling asleep in The Balm Anti-Wrinkle Concealer because it contains antiaging ingredients like vitamins A, C, and E and Linoleic Acid. The wrinkle-prone areas are disguised while being treated by the emollient formula, making it beneficial to sleep in.
The Brow Gel That Withstands Tossing and Turning
When using Anastasia Beverly Hills Clear Brow Gel, there is no need to wash it off before going to bed. Even while you sleep, the invisible formula tames the wildest eyebrows and keeps them defined. Thanks to the botanical conditioners and oils used in the formulation, your eyebrows will be supple, healthy, and well-groomed when you wake up.
The Mascara That won't Rub Off on Your Sheets
Are you anticipating a morning photo opportunity? Perhaps it's time for your traditional birthday breakfast in bed or it's time for that extra-special Mother's Day treat. The black magic mascara by Eyekos is waterproof and provides 12 hours of full volume, which will cover the eight hours of sleep you probably don't get. To avoid smudging, use the guitar pick–shaped tool included dubbed the Eyeko Shield.
The Cheek Color That Hydrates like a Night Cream
Jouer Cheek Tint is perfect for a quick, in-bed morning run to give you that "just got out of bed and went for a jog" flush. The paraben-free formula will not irritate your skin even if you pass out on Friday night after a long week of work, and the seed oil and beeswax ingredients will keep your skin hydrated.
The Lip Stain That won't Smudge
A stain that absorbs into the skin rather than a cream or gloss that sits on top of it is the key to a lip color that isn't transferred to your pillow. The Benetint lip tint by Benefit Cosmetics is a natural-looking red. This highly pigmented coverage will last all day, unlike a natural berry stain on the lips, which will have faded by morning.
BareMinerals Original Foundation Broad Spectrum SPF 15
Breaking out is the worst possible consequence of going to bed with makeup on. That's fine, face. It was my fault. Don't overdo the drama. If you nod off while wearing this foundation, your skin will be able to breathe easily all night long. If you do fall asleep in the sun, you can rest assured that the UVA protection this offers will last throughout the night.
Yves Saint Laurent Touche Éclat Radiance Perfecting Pen
The wand your fairy godmother would use if such a thing were real resembles this highlighter pen. You can use it to draw attention to your best features without looking like you slapped on some glitter randomly. Not only does it leave your face with a natural, radiant sheen, but it also helps your makeup last all night without flaking, smudging, or otherwise becoming unsightly.
Clinique Lash Power Mascara Long-Wearing Formula
If you find a mascara with a similar formula, sleeping in it is marginally more acceptable. It is essential that it is both watertight and smudge-proof. This mascara is designed to last all day in the worst weather conditions. You won't ruin your pillowcase or pull out your eyelashes one by one while you sleep.
If you use the right product, going to bed without washing your face isn't necessarily bad for your skin, but we're not saying it's good, either. While no one goes to sleep every night looking like they just wrapped filming an episode of "The Bachelor," there are times when it's just not possible to wash your face before hitting the grass. I am so sorry to make you feel this way.
After a long day at work, it's not uncommon to immediately pass out upon returning home. Alternatively, there are times when you might be waking up somewhere else and prefer not to go around naked (no judgment here girl, you do you.) The likelihood of breakouts is greatly diminished, however, if you choose a foundation that is formulated with skin-loving ingredients.
About Fiona Co Chan
Fiona Co Chan introduced Youthforia in the year 2021. When the global outbreak of COVID occurred, the concept of Youthforia began to take shape. Maybe it was being cooped up inside all the time, but Fiona kept thinking about how the best part of wearing makeup is going out with friends, and how sometimes you forget to take it off, and how sad that is. She yearned for makeup that was so gentle on the skin that it could be worn to bed.
Youthforia - The Makeup you can Sleep in
Fiona and her husband slept in all of the lab samples of Youthforia while it was being developed, and both of them woke up with noticeably better skin. Making-up is now seen as an integral part of her skincare routine, which had previously been a major paradigm shift for her. An important part of the Youthforia testing process involves spending the night in the lab samples. We place the health of your skin above all else, and we think that cosmetics should actually be beneficial to your complexion.
Most makeup contains liquid microplastic, and she just didn't want to be a part of the problem, so she made it a cornerstone of the Youthforia formulation philosophy to use Green Chemistry and avoid fossil fuels. The Byrdie Eco Awards named Fiona a Disruptor in the industry and an Eco Beauty Hero. At Youthforia, they believe that makeup is an extension of your skincare - and they’re innovating with makeup you can sleep in. Youthforia loves the mix of elevated playfulness and high-quality unique formulas. A dose of fun without compromising on performance, or skin health.
How Bad Is It To Sleep With Makeup On?
We all know going to bed in your makeup is a beauty no-no—it’s been drilled into our brains since our teenage years. To what extent, though, does this violate beauty norms? I reached out to some professionals to get the 4-1-1 on sleeping in makeup so I could find out if I was dooming my skin to an eternal state of misery. The majority of the respondents placed their responses in one of two categories: acceptable or unacceptable.
Here’s What Happens When You Wear Makeup to Bed
It's important that we start with the bad news. Not a good idea to sleep in your cosmetics. Indeed, it may be wreaking havoc on your skin, though perhaps not in the way you expect. It's not that sleeping in makeup is inherently bad, but rather that it has a cumulatively negative effect on your skin.
A health and wellness expert elaborated on this idea, explaining that as the day progresses, our skin accumulates a layer of dirt, dead skin, and various pollutants. If you don't remove the dirt and dead skin from your skin, it can't renew itself and produce new, healthy cells. To give you some background, free radicals are a part of that pollution that causes premature skin aging by destroying collagen.
What to Do When You Accidentally Fall Asleep in Your Makeup
Every once in a while, everyone is guilty of neglecting their skincare routine. The question now is what to do the following morning after realizing what a bad choice we made the night before. Start with a clean face. It's best to use an oil-based cleanser first to help dissolve the oils on your skin, and then switch to a gel or foam cleanser to ensure that your pores are thoroughly cleaned out. Next, we suggest using a clay mask for detoxification purposes.
Don't forget to toss that dirty pillowcase in the wash if you want to finally put an end to those persistent breakouts. If your pillow automatically reapplies your makeup while you sleep, it doesn't matter if you go to bed with your face painted.
